    Studio 538 for rent

    It's countdown to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, BC, Canada and out of town television, news and media teams may be anticipating potential challenges the event may present to cover the Olympic Venues.

    The Olympic committee provides a Venue Media Centre (VMC) at each venue as well as a Main Media Center, providing workspace and services for accredited press covering the 2010 Winter Games, but they are a first-come, first-served basis and some small to medium-sized media teams may need a private facility with more features.

    Avoid the First-come First-serve Chaos for Work Spaces
    Studio 538 in Vancouver is a perfect solution for your news or media team. Offering its facility with an exclusive Stay, Work and Play package. With Studio 538, have your own private facility just minutes away from the Main Media Centre (at Canada Place & Vancouver Convention Centre) and the BC International Media Centre (at Robson Square) and right in the hub of the Olympics, only one block away from Canada Hockey Place (also known as GM Place). With its great location and added studio clubroom, Studio 538 is a perfect for out of town television, news or media teams.

    Stay, Work and Play Package at Studio 538 for 2010 Olympics
    The studio facility consists of two floor plans (approx 4,000 sq ft. total) with four washrooms and is multi-purpose; one is the production studio and the other is the extra amenity floor (see floor plan features and pictures below).
